Martine Lambert

The first of June and it's time for ice cream/glace is it not?Paris Dogs eat ice cream too, original artwork, 9" x 12"

No need to rush off to thel'Isle St Louis searching for a cone either... Head instead to Martine Lambert Glaces!Deauville's ice cream queen has a branch on 194 rue de Grenelle 75007.

And though many will tell you Berthillon can not be topped, I am here to tell you otherwise.

There is no flavor signboard at Martine's because fresh flavors are created daily at the will of the chef and very exotique they are too...

I had the mangue/mango...

But I was tempted by so many others, sorbet pêche de vigne, pamplemousse et gingembre confit to name several, though I can not remember what this mystery sorbet was...reglisse/licorice or figue?

Martine's prix is a tad less than famed Berthillon but that in no way effects quality - no additives or colorants are used and the milk comes from very contented Normandie cows who've played a bit of roulette at Deauville and won.

Would it be cruel to recommend your site to my Weight Watchers friends or helpful? I'm sure it would be taken as sabotage rather than a helpful tool in realizing the beauty of our surroundings. C'est la vie, non?

I have been reading PB in preparation for my first trip to Paris. Iam finally here, and I realized how amazing this place is. I had achausson aux pommes for petit-dejeuner and a box of macarons withlunch. So thank you so much for writing about these fantastic foods! Iwent to Merci today and it was probqbly the coolest plqce ever. Todaymy family had bertillon and it was AMAZING; I cant wait to try all ofyour other suggestions. Keep up the excelence! MERCI!

Don't worry... you will never lose your title as Queen of macarons! One is allowed to love icecream also. I hardly dare to say that I share your opinion about Berthillon's reputation being possibly a bit overdone! :-) I didn't know this address, will certainly try a nice summer day! Maybe this afternoon!

you really capture the beautiful paris and i love your macaroon selection its awesome! i would appreciate if you could answer me this question do you happen to know of anyone who is like a personal shopper that goes to paris so i can get myself some of those great macaroons shipped to me thx bye an have a great day or should i say au revoir

Are you sure that those macarons glacés weren't frozen? La glace is ice cream, but when something is “glace” (no accent) it is iced, frozen or perhaps glazed, depending upon the context.And not to worry -- you'll always be La Reine des Macarons!Best,Lisa

Of course I am reading your blogs backwards, trying to catch up (work work work!) and it's a good thing you got your dog - otherwise I'd be tempted to jump to conclusions about your mental state. Honestly macarons glace! You must go back immediatement!

The ice cream colours do look a bit artificial, don't you think? How is the texture by the way? Looking at the ice cream in those cheap small supermarket-like packaging you do not get the impression it is really soft and creamy like the real Italian gelato.

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it but now tripping over cobblestones on l'Ile Saint-Louis In Paris. Savor Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
